I love this! So fun that you tried tissue paper first, as that makes perfect sense (but one that I would never have thought of). And then the watercolors, which seemed to do the trick. I think your quilt is a perfect rendition of stained glass shadows, with their blotchy muted brilliant colors melting into the tiles. Brilliant execution of our theme!

I LOVE how you tried a new technique! It is so good to explore and find new approaches to a design idea. Normally you don't EVER want to allow tissue to bleed onto a quilt, but for you this was a grand slam idea. Can't wait to see what you do next time around too!
